Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice until well combined.
Step 3: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated. Let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 4: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh salmon and high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
Let the salmon rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the juices to redistribute.
Add fresh herbs like dill or thyme to the marinade for extra flavor.
Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets to prevent overcooking.
Serve with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Try drizzling additional marinade or a creamy garlic sauce over the salmon before serving.

Storage

Store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven at 275°F (135°C) or microwave uncovered for short intervals to avoid drying out the fish.

FAQs

Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen salmon, but make sure to thaw it completely and pat dry before marinating to ensure the best texture and flavor.

What can I substitute for soy sauce?

If you prefer a soy-free option, try using tamari or coconut aminos as a substitute. Both will add a similar savory flavor to the marinade.
